Verse 1 (Derek) i always tell people to do what you love / but what about me though am i truly in touch more often than not i'm walking off in the dark / no clue on who i am but i continue to march i said left to the right to the left again / when can i ever rest these heavy limbs i've come too far or have i gone too far / back and forth i battle on in this war so when the wind's inexplicably blowing strong / i need to hold on hold my soul in my arms and when the rain falls and it's pouring a storm / i just tilt my chin up and open my arms and when i cross mountain tops cliffs and rocks / the hardest part about the climb is uplifting my heart and if i try and try and i trip and i fall / it's alright y'all i'm alright y'all

Verse 2 (Theresa) it goes one for the money two for job security / three for the catholic nuns who put the fear in me four for the branches of the family tree / every refugee uprooted who abandoned a dream felt them hand it to me put it on my generation / pennies tens and twenties put it all on education soldiers of war who knew the top would destroy us / if we didn't raise an army full of doctors and lawyers hey i see how the sentiment arises / prepare for the worse so aint nothing would surprise us can you tell i was raised by a general / who turned into a minister because the world is sinister in simpler times maybe the road is less treacherous / and doing what you love is something more effortless but nevertheless i would never regret / whats expected of me in my destiny manifest
